Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water Of that region. ~
Being naturally Of a strong consti.

no chills and fever or other hilarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which found myself six
months ago. first noticed that did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. felt tired and
eneryated. Soon | noticed distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in.
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profusc gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as bell, would feel heavy
and | began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering Of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount Of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
| seemed to be burning up, the con
gestion in my head produced violent
pain in the frontal portion and heat
ed sensation Of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox
ysms passed off was thoroughly pros
trated by weakness that was felt in
every part Of me.
| drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief. But my respite
was Of brief duration. was now sc
much reduced tharI could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated in a continued malaral fe-
yer which kept me closely confined fol
about week. ! became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, SO much SC
that | lost interest in my work, and
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be I'M
derstood that didnot neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate of potash, valeriante Of iron,
mercury, bromide of potassium, chic
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dia, quinlne and several others, All
this | did under the advice of eminent
physicians. auif III.
TWAS while | was in this dcplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. ! knew nothing Of its value
| to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed |
deemed it my duty to try it, SO | began
i its use, and ITS prompt and radical ef-
fects were oil the natare of arevelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only few days use OF
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abatcd or
ceased altogether; and in afew weeks
from the time | took the first dose |
was cured.
This was about the first of January,
and since then have experienced no
recurrence Of the malarial symptoms
in any form. A remedy Of such ex
ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria
ought to be commended and univer.
sally made known. | have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used il
with like good results in every case
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that | commend Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
